Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Jasper returned to Seaview Manor, completely drenched. Rosie hurried over with a cloth, but he waved her away.

He headed upstairs with a long face.

“W-What’s wrong with him? Did someone offend him?” Rosie asked in concern.

“You should comfort him later. He had been deceived,” responded Xavier.

“Huh? He’s sharp and smart, though. He had been deceived? Have you reported to the police? We have to call the cops.” Rosie was surprised.

Xavier shook his head. “It’s It’s complicated. The police can’t do anything about it. Fortunately, justice prevailed over evil.”

“I told him to download an anti-scammer app long ago. He just wouldn’t listen. Look at him now. He’s a victim.”

Xavier smiled bitterly at the thought of Jasper having finally met his match. It wouldn’t have been this serious if it was money-related, but the liar made use of Jasper’s pride!

A pale-faced Jasper headed upstairs. He appeared lifeless.

‘Mr. Jasper, Ms. Gardner is here. Mr. Javier is asking for you. He’s in the study,” a maid informed him politely.

His lips were pursed into a thin line as he walked to Javier’s study. (1

“Jasper, you’re finally here!” Liana ran to him and hugged him as though he was a treasure found.

He appeared indifferent. He did not return the hug immediately like he always did. Sorrow seemed to consume him as he faced Liana.

“Jasper, how did it go? Have you met Ms. Alyssa?” Javier inquired sternly.

As the chairman of Beckett Group, Javier had many responsibilities to attend to. Thus, he usually wouldn’t involve himself in such trivial matters.

However, Sophia had been reminding him about the matter every day. He had no choice but to get Jasper to keep the situation under control.

“Jasper will protect Liana and her family. He genuinely cares for her. If he personally spoke to Ms. Alyssa, Taylor Group wouldn’t refuse his request that easily. Beckett Group isn’t any small company. If they offend us, it won’t bode well for their development in Solana City.” Sophia snorted while linking arms with her husband. (1

It was a method she had used for over 20 years, treating Jasper with high regard and showering him with praise to raise expectations from others.

That way, she could complain to Javier whenever Jasper had shortcomings, using it as a means to drive a wedge between them.

“Dad, Aunt Sophia, let’s stop right here.” Jasper’s eyes were hollow.
